  Additional Information (The Fine Print)

  The Southeast U.S. Korean Chamber of Commerce ("SEUSKCC")'s 9th Annual Friendship Golf Tournament is a friendly and exciting sports event.  We invite SEUSKCC members and yet-to-be members to join us for this annual day at the wonderful RTJ - Grand National Golf Course.
  There is an 80-player maximum.

  Team Registration.  You may either register in a team of four, or you may register individually and be matched with a team of four.  The team of four must have a collective golf handicap that exceeds 40.  The team of four must be further broken down into two pairs of two people.  The two-person pairs may only include one golfer with a handicap less than 9.

  Format.  The format of the event is a foursome scramble.  Groups of four golfers (each comprised of two separate pairs from two separate teams) will tee off.  Each person in the group of four hits the ball once.  The pair then chooses which one of the player's ball as the starting place for the second swing, etc., until the hole is finished.

  ​Mulligans can be purchased the morning of the event (Up to two per player).

  Team Scoring.  The team scoring is calculated by adding both team pair's scramble score.  The team with the lowest score wins.

  Waiver and Release: By registering for this event, you hereby, for yourself, your heirs, administrators, executors, personal representatives, and assigns, do forever waive, release, and discharge any and all rights and claims for damages or losses, whether monetary or otherwise compensatory, that you may have against the Southeast U.S. Korean Chamber of Commerce (“SEUSKCC”), and/or any of its officers or directors, for any injuries sustained by you arising out of your participation in this golf tournament. You further agree now and forever to hold SEUSKCC and/or any of its officers or directors harmless and indemnify, and covenant not to sue them, for all claims, damages, judgments, and costs of whatever nature and from.
